Intel dual-core 3.16Ghz with 3GB RAM, SATA HD, and SATA DVD-RW with LightScribe.
Amazing how unresponsive the entire system is while burning a label. This has been a problem for the longest time. Any major disk activity slows the system to a fscking crawl. It's been this way since W95.
WTF? I thought they would have solved this by now. Maybe I'll try the same thing under W7 and see what happens.
Ya gotta be fscking kidding me..... :roll: :roll:

There is a reason why a lot of us have chosen alternate operating systems...
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Strange, my LightScribe works like a charm.

I use them from time to time. OS/2 never had this issue. I haven't used Linux in a while, but I suspect it wouldn't be a problem there, either.Originally Posted by KJ6BSO
I remember when just formatting a floppy disk would bog down a Windoze system. :roll:
It would appear things haven't improved a whole lot.

Lightscribe is slow in and of itself because of the design. It's not Windows so much as the low power of the laser.
There is a newer media that's a little faster. Sharpies come in colors, man.

Which I don't really understand. Shouldn't the system just off-load most of the burning to the device, instead of bogging down the entire IO subsystem to the point where the system just goes nearly unresponsive?
Given this is my first foray into LightScribe, I may go back to that method. Geez.... :roll:There is a newer media that's a little faster. Sharpies come in colors, man.

I have two PC's with Lightscribe. Takes a good thirty minutes to do something nice.
It will go faster if you make the labels concentric and follow the shape of the disk.
FWIW, HP's software is pretty bloaty in the regular printer world too.
I just don't use it, unless I'm making a gift CD for somebody.

It's pretty simple: they don't want you making money using their equipment/software/systems unless you spring for the $20K set up. It could be more now. $20K is a 2006 price tag. 2006 was my last inquiry into better Lightscribe™ systems so at this point I may have no idea of what I'm talking about.
I have spent a good bit of time with it since then and I've learned a few tricks that will make the images come out deeper and clearer for label burning but on average it still takes about 20 minutes each.
I've enjoyed island life for 17 years. That's 13 years more than the Confederacy was around.

The time is takes to do a label is one thing. That the machine had large chunks of time where it was almost literally unresponsive is another. I could do almost nothing while the label was being written.

Lightscribe is HP. Ask them?
